M by Jon J. Muth

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The artwork is terrific! Reminiscent, but not a copy of the film. The story's very well told also with the confusion/instability in the perpetrator's mind being carried through the storytelling style as well. Recommended for those who enjoy the artwork of graphic novels as well as those who especially enjoy the German Expressionist films of the 1930s.

Princess de Cleves

The Princesse de Clèves by Marie-Madeleine de LaFayette

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


For the time it was written, it's a pretty racy story of passion and illicit love. By today's standards, it's not nearly so! All that being said, I enjoyed it after I got used to the style and the more stilted language than what I typically read.

Recommended to people interested in the time period - both in literature and history.

Bookhunter

Bookhunter by Jason Shiga

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A quick, but action-packed read. Even more awesome than I'd hoped! :D Agent Bay's hard-boiled edge totally makes the story. A must-read for all library staff who enjoy comics & graphic novels

Three Bears

The Three Bears by Byron Barton

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Seth (age 3) like the simple illustrations and the story is well-adapted for the sometimes wiggly toddler or preschooler.
